To all whom it may concern.

' Be it known that I, J on B. CARROLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county ofCook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Advertising-Cards, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to advertising-cards or devices, the object of the invention being rain, &c.

i there to combine with any desired advertising matter upon a card or the like a figure or device which will arrest and hold the attention, while at the same time possessing some measure of utility as an accurate register of the condition of the weather with respect to Wind,-

In its preferred embodiment the invention comprises a card having thereon an incomplete pictorial representation of an animal,

eing attached to the picture and rojecting from the plane thereof a taii of fibrous material, so mounted as'to be ca able of free movementin response to atmosp eric Inconne'ction with this combined re resentation aretabulated directions cor- .Ieating the condition of the same with cer- I tam atmospheric phenomena, as above de- .scribed.

A preferred form of the invention is illustrated in elevation in the accom an'ying drawing, wherein 1 representsacar havmg thereon an incomplete pictorial representation of an animal 2, as a mule,.the tail being omitted from the picture. The tail 3 comprises a twisted or untwisted strand "of cord, string, twine, rope, or the like having a small area of attachment-to the card to permit en tire freedom of motion, as above mentioned. Preferably the tail is drawn through a small aperture in the card and secured to the reverse thereof in any suitable manner; Adj acent the figure are printed directions, (shown at 4,) correlating the condition of the tail with certain more or. less obvious atmospheric phenomena. 1 v

I claim- 1 An advertising-card having indicated thereonan incomplete pictorial representation of an. animal, the tail of the animal being attached to the card in suchmanner as to secure freedom of movement and projecting from the plane thereof, and directions correlating the conditions and movement of the tail with atmospheric phenomena, substantially as describe In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
